Sailesi roared inwardly, preparing to unleash his immense strength to break free from Rosalind's clutches, but suddenly felt a sharp tightening in his chest.
It wasn't the kind of sorrow that felt like being punched when [ Whale Tail ] died, but rather a sense of impending crisis, as if someone had grabbed your heart.
not good!
Sailesi exerted all his strength at once, managing to free both arms from Rosalind, and then instinctively punched her behind him.
However, his attack missed its mark, and Sailesi only saw a Shadow disappear from his sight.
York! You're not...
Sailesi realized the problem--
York took the Holy Remains of the Whale Tail, but what makes you think he didn't hand them over to someone else?
He is the fastest; even if he disappears from sight for a second, he can still accomplish a great deal.
As a grand duke, he must have dukes under his command with similar abilities to his own.
As for not showing up before... hiding their true colors is a common trait in the York Lineage.
Sailesi realized he had been misled by preconceived notions, but it was too late.
He pushed off with his feet and leaped into the air, dodging potential attacks.
His two left arms resisted Rosalind's heavy pressure, while his two right arms remained in a vacant position.
Too slow! I'm so much slower than York!
In that instant, Sailesi wanted to activate [ Dream of Rebirth ] because he realized that York was a vampire grand duke who fought with his brain.
As long as you rely on your brain, there's no way to be immune to his abilities.
But Sailesi couldn't do that at that moment.
If [ Dream of Rebirth ] is activated, the power of [ Giant Arms ] will be suppressed, so Rosalind might break through her defenses before the fragrance even takes effect.
Simply put:
York is restrained by the [ Dream of Rebirth ], but Rosalind can kill him.
Without the [ Dream of Rebirth ] activated, Rosalind could hold out, but York could kill her.
Realizing he was caught in a pincer movement, Sailesi felt a surge of despair.
York had already launched another sneak attack from his projection on the ground.
The lightless blade launched a ferocious thrust from below, truly befitting an ass-ass-in.
Sailesi combined the strength of his four arms and swung them with all his might, briefly repelling Rosalind, who was as swift as a chainsaw.
At the same time, he twisted his body with all his might, changing his torso from vertical to horizontal, so that York's attack would not pierce through and kill him instantly.
This is already the limit that his level of strength and speed can achieve.
"Ah!!!"
Sailesi let out a cry of pain that he could hardly contain, and the renewed force in his arm created distance between him and Rosalind and York.
Looking down, I saw that my right leg below the knee had disappeared.
The remaining half of the leg had now been disassembled into its most intricate individual bone pieces, which fell one by one into the newly sunken pit in the ground, making a crisp impact sound.
The strike didn't even leave a mark on Sailesi's body, because York's swordsmanship was entirely directed along the gaps in the bones, allowing him to inflict maximum damage with minimal effort.
Sailesi, being a skeleton, did not have a strong sense of pain.
But in the instant York cut off his right leg, he felt the pain of having his memories ripped from his soul.
He realized that his part of " Sailesi " had diminished once again.
Before he could even think about which part of his memory had been stripped away, Sailesi saw York attacking again, and he had to clear his mind and fight back seriously.
At that moment, an intensely bright light suddenly burst forth from the side and above Sailesi!
Great! Big C's ultimate move is finally fully charged!
Unlike sunlight, which shines in all directions, the dazzling light was like the Immortal King compressing the night into pure darkness. [ Divine Wings ] also compressed its beam of light to the thickness of an arm.
The beam of light resembled an infinitely long lightsaber, piercing heavily down onto a certain spot on the battlefield below in [ Divine Wings's ] hand.
"Whoosh!"
"Hiss~"
Like the sound of a red-hot iron ingot being thrown into water, it came instantly; no matter how swift the shadow, it was ultimately inferior to the light.
The source of this sound was not the lightsaber itself, but rather...
Grand Duke York, who was stabbed.
The Grand Duke, composed of viscous darkness, was pierced directly through by the light and was being continuously vaporized.
In the span of a single breath, half of York's body had already been burned away.
However, the duration of [ Divine Wings ]'s ultimate move was clearly not that short; the lightsaber showed no signs of weakening and instead scorched York's body even more fiercely.
Such a high-energy attack was unprecedented; the energy emitted by the lightsaber alone was comparable to the energy that blasted Rosalind's insect head back then.
This made Rosalind, who was standing to the side, not even dare to step forward to help York for a moment, for fear that she would be cut in two and then twitch on the ground like a fish bait worm.
Just when Sailesi thought the battle was about to take another dramatic turn, a shooting star suddenly streaked across the sky.
The meteor hurtled towards the battlefield with unparalleled force, and upon seeing this, Sailesi immediately hopped away on one leg in a frantic retreat.
"When!"
The violent impact shook the battlefield, and the dust instantly dissipated, revealing a blood-red lance planted in the center of the battlefield, between the lightsaber and York.
With his lance shielding his lightsaber, York's dark form crashed to the ground in a sorry state. Before he could catch his breath, a second meteor hurtled straight towards him.
"Besides?"
York transformed into a shadow form, instantly transcending his pure material form. His power was perfectly displayed at that moment—the impact of the falling meteor failed to harm him in the slightest, something none of the other Grand Dukes could do.
A figure descended from the sky, landing irresistibly beside the lance, and then casually pulled it out.
The [ Divine Wings ] in the air cast a surprised glance at the person, who was clad in blood armor, holding a seemingly heavy spear in one hand and the " Whale Tail," Holy Remains belonging to the Alliance, in the other. Even with a mask on, his killing intent was still undeniable.
The knight tilted his head slightly upwards to look at the [ Divine Wings ] in the sky. Blood flowed from the gaps in his plate armor, but was absorbed by the spear in his hand.
" Crimson Lightning!"
The knight let out a low shout, and the blood on his lance suddenly twisted into sharp, zigzagging lines, eventually transforming into crimson lightning that coiled around the lance.
An invisible and intangible killing intent permeated this space. The fierce battle between the Blood Corpse and skeletons seemed to be merely an appetizer before the main course arrived, quickly becoming a mere backdrop.
"Ah?"
"Oh, no?"
"I'm so awesome..."
On the distant mountains, the magical lens in front of Balund suddenly dissipated, and Aiboke's telephoto-lens-like mechanical glasses rotated to switch lenses. Ed put down a pair of telescopes made entirely of resin.
The three looked at each other, but could only stare blankly at each other.
" Great Wilderness Starfall!"
Ed uttered a sarcastic remark that the two couldn't understand, then looked at the Grand Foundry Master brothers:
"No, who is this person?"
Balund thought for a moment and said:
"Not entirely sure, but it's most likely the King of Domination."
"A lance? A knight? Descending from the sky?"
Ed was stunned:
"Does the King of Domination like cosplay?"
What is cosplay?
Balund was somewhat confused.
"It's role-playing."
"That might actually be true."
To Ed's surprise, what was originally just a joke was acknowledged by Aiboke:
"Don't forget, the identities of the Immortal King and the King of Domination are an absolute secret to most people."
Even now, people continue to speculate about their true identities, but the results of these speculations have never gone beyond the realm of 'human'.
"The Eternal Domain Realm was able to be established because the Immortal King and the King of Domination initially proclaimed themselves as ' Dragon Slayer '."
"From a human perspective, those who can kill dragons are either fearsome archmages or incredibly powerful warriors."
" Twin Kings has ever displayed Psionic Energy talent, so the identity that the King of Domination publicly displays might actually be that of a ' Knight King '."
That makes sense.
Ed nodded, while Balund said with some doubt:
"So, did the King of Domination come here at this time to save his own blood relatives?"
"Perhaps."
Ed nodded in agreement:
"I've heard that some people enjoy rescuing innocent animals, but because of limited funds, they can only save one or two pounds at a time."
"That's called breaking your fast!"
Balund's lips twitched.
